Hi! We’re very excited about the new experience, looks great! But we have two questions:
-
When are you expecting this to be released in full (a few features we use are still lacking, but we understand they will be developed/made available soon enough, but that means we can’t really make the switch yet)? We know it sometimes can be hard to say exactly when things will be released in full, but even if you could only provide some vague guidance to let us know if it’s weeks away from launch, or if it’s expected early next year, or somewhere in between, that would be appreciated.
-
For how long after the full release can we expect both versions of the record experience to be available (we’re thinking of when we should plan to make the switch for all users)?

Can someone help me understand what I’m missing for a ‘hidden if empty’ option in the new record layout?

Hi @GH_SE,
Thank you so much, we’re really happy to hear that you’re excited about the new Record Experience 
We’re putting a lot of care and effort into this to make it truly outstanding, a real step forward and to create a USP in the market.
Regarding your first question:
It’s still a bit difficult to give a precise timeline. We have 12 field types left, with varying complexity.
Our goal is to have all field types in place this year, ideally more towards late summer or early autumn rather than the very end of the year.
Instead of waiting for one big release, we’ll continue shipping improvements and new field types continuously. This means the overall picture will become clearer step by step as more pieces are completed.
Regarding your second question:
You can already start switching individual apps to the new experience today. As we get closer to the release, we’ll also allow switching entire organizations earlier, even before the final release, so teams can test things in real scenarios.
We haven’t finalized how long both versions will run in parallel, but we currently expect around one month, possibly a bit longer, after full release.
The transition should be very smooth, as setups and defaults will carry over. Bu we’ll coordinate the final switch closely with our community and partners.
Best regards,
Leo

Thank you so much for pointing this out, really appreciated!
I actually spent quite some time trying to understand this and first thought it might be related to the date field specifically, but in the end it turned out to be something much simpler.
We accidentally had a feature flag set on this option. This means it was only visible to the Tape development team, but hidden for everyone else. That’s why we didn’t notice it at first.
The good news is that we already have a fix in the pipeline, and it will be released tomorrow. After that, the “hidden if empty” option will be visible again for everyone.
Thanks again for catching this, and have a great weekend!
Best,
Leo

Hi @Leo … in the past we also discussed, that “hidden if not empty” would be as useful as “hidden if empty”.
In processes there are certain fields, which only need to be set once and never be changed again. You don’t even want to see it anymore. If needed at all, I could still show the hidden field again, same way I show “hidden if empty” fields manually.
Is this still a thing?

Hi @dirk_s,
great to hear from you!
Yes, this is still on our radar. However, the current approach is to handle this via Rules rather than Display Settings.
The idea is to keep the Display Settings intentionally lean and focused only on the most common use cases, to avoid overload.
In Rules, we already have the “Hide Block” and “Show Block” actions. We plan to extend these so that blocks hidden by such a rule can still be shown again manually when needed. On top of that, we only need to add the corresponding filter conditions like “is empty” and “is not empty” to fully cover your use case
So the feature is still planned, just implemented through Rules instead of Display Settings
Best regards and have a great day!

This is perfect, that’s all we really need to know for now! Looking forward to do the switch over our records!
